Bert I envy you doing remastering. I am too vulnerable to failure and feel so ashamed when things go wrong and doing a remaster seem very risky when one are as clumsy with computers as I am. But congrats about doing it._________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Thanks a lot Martin for finding the time to reply. Can't believe remastering can be this easy! I've been reading many forum threads about it, downloading tutorials and some scripts and it proved to be a delicate operation. I tried many times and always something went wrong and when I finally succeeded, the new iso had some little errors in it!
Will try your method later today.

(But... after remastering this version without a browser and without office: you've got Puppy 52 Why not use Puppy?)

Not exactly Puppy 5.2...look at what you've removed from 5.2 to arrive at Mijnpup. I am using Lucid 5.2 as my daily OS now, but want your cleaned and simplified environment to install on the box of someone I love, who gets totally confused by the 'busy' and 'techie' 5.2 desktop and menu.

@puppymartin, thanks again for all your responses and staying updated on this project. I do have another question. Firefox updates automatically is there a way to have libreoffice update automatically when they come out with new updates. For me the office suite and browser are the most used applications on my computer and it would be awesome if they were able to update by themselves without having to randomly check if there is a new version and then download and unpack it and everything... just automated ya know? Thanks again.

Mac and Windows should have auto-updaters, Linux should have an
auto-updater available only when installed from source (if it is
practical), otherwise updates should be handled by the distros package
management system.

so, I don't really understand what the above means. how was this version installed. Did you install it from a .deb? so if a person were to go to their website and install the tar.gz then it would include the automatic updates? thanks for clarifying the tech speak for me. b/c if thats all it takes i can replace the files in /opt with new ones that will update. thanks again, every time thank you.

Hello:
I installed Remove apps in Puppy Lucid 5.2, and used it to remove the Abiword and gnumeric. It worked fine and removed the two packages. However, it left the Doc and help files along with the menu items pointing to these.
How can one remove these as well?
Thanks in advance!

Could you specify the kernel version of MijnPup as I am stuck with a card reader requiring a special driver? I think that kernel version 2.6.36 was the first one to integrate the driver. It is also possible that the driver must be explicitly compiled.
